This Healthy Green Mango Lassi is sweet, creamy, filling, and delicious! It’s secretly fat free, high fiber, high protein, and gluten free too, but you’d never know… shhhh 😉
Just a few nights ago, my family and I went to an Indian restaurant — I probably haven’t gone to one in over a year because Indian cuisine barely exists where I go to school — and it brought back so many memories! I used to look forward to going to Indian restaurants because I always got that popular, (super) sweet and creamy Mango Lassi.
I was thinking about it yesterday and decided to make my own version… but with a little hint of veg… a Spinach Mango Lassi!
And trust me. It’s delicious. You don’t taste the spinach at all.
Healthy Green Mango Lassi
- 2 large Mangos (peeled and chopped into chunks)
- 1 cup Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- 5-7 Ice Cubes
- 1-2 tbs Honey (optional)
- pinch of Cardamom (optional, just for authenticity!)
This is a super thick smoothie, I ate part of it with a spoon! But, if you are the type of person who likes more liquidy drinks, feel free to add 100% mango nectar (no added sugar) or even applesauce. To lower the glycemic index, try adding coconut milk.
